Marriage preparation must be completed to fulfill the guidelines set by the Diocese of Palm Beach. At Holy Family, a parish priest, deacon, and rehearsal coordinator work together to prepare couples for the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. The parish priest and deacon will provide spiritual guidance to the engaged couple while the rehearsal coordinator will help them develop plans for their wedding. Couples will need to meet at least four to six months before their anticipated wedding date so that specific preparations and necessary documentation may be completed. Please call Holy Family's Parish Office to arrange for a meeting (335-2385). To read more about the Old Testament references Jesus made, read this. |

PRAYER FOR FAMILIES
We bless your name, O Lord,
for sending your own incarnate Son,
to become part of a family,
so that, as He lived its life,
He would experience its worries and its joys.
We ask you, Lord,
to protect and watch over this family,
so that in the strength of Your grace
its members may enjoy prosperity,
possess the priceless gift of Your peace,
and, as the Church alive in the home,
bear witness in this world to Your glory.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
